Graphite RC10 with fuzzy dice

Post by sandkil »

Here's the base for an upcoming build.
Graphite tub from Mr. Franky Yeung in Hongkong. Quality is second to none. 175 grams of pure happiness.
On this build I will add all hop-ups I've collected over the years such as the Schumacher SACS, Factory Works steering, battery stap and rear tower. Yokomo wheels, tires and hubs and so on...

Yes, only seen these on pictures, but the finish looks really nice.
Looking forward to see your signature on this one!

This is a beauty of a chassis.

Wish it was made for a DS as well

So when you finish the chassis it's getting a Cortina body with the fluffy dice :?:
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

I believe he is also offering a 2-piece chassis, so with a DS nose piece you'd be set.

The 140 estate for the win ( possibly "station wagon" in American?) With the Trev and Sharon windscreen decal . I think the first Volvo 140 was scrapped last week but I could be wrong .

Sorry, I didn't see your request until now, but you got it sorted out.

Good luck with a future CF tub DS build!

I couldn't help myself. There will be a shorter summer break from the build, but just had to tinker a bit.
Not all parts are sourced yet, but that will get sorted along the way.
Black 8-32 aluminum screws and 4-40 lock nuts are from Fasteners Express.

Sure is going to be a tasty piece with what parts you mentioned and what you’ve gotten done so far.
Who do you race for ?
Me……. I race for me.
That’s impossible, I was told you need a sponsor to race.
